Welcome to BackYard Chickens, And a Big Hello from Eastern Nebraska! Milk Isn't something Chickens or any type of Poultry would naturally eat so I would say no.

1 TBSP per silkies?
how much do they weigh?
my hens are 8-9 lbs each
maybe I can give 2 TBSP each LOLOL

About 2-3 pounds. I just limit it more for the fact that it has dairy in it. Otherwise, I'd give them the tub and they'd eat it lol.

My chickens like to eat the milk that is left on the ground from our bottle babies' bucket (it must leak or something.) It has never hurt them, but it's not a lot of milk.

But like @TwoCrows said, chickens lack the enzymes for breaking down lactose, so I don't think giving them a whole bunch of milk would be great for them. .

I'm kind of weird and I like to make milk popsicles. I mix milk and egg yolks together and freeze them, so that's what I'd do with the extra milk.
